Solution for ln(x-5)=ln(x-1)+ln(x+1) equation:


Simplifying
ln(x + -5) = ln(x + -1) + ln(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
ln(-5 + x) = ln(x + -1) + ln(x + 1)
(-5 * ln + x * ln) = ln(x + -1) + ln(x + 1)
(-5ln + lnx) = ln(x + -1) + ln(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-5ln + lnx = ln(-1 + x) + ln(x + 1)
-5ln + lnx = (-1 * ln + x * ln) + ln(x + 1)
-5ln + lnx = (-1ln + lnx) + ln(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-5ln + lnx = -1ln + lnx + ln(1 + x)
-5ln + lnx = -1ln + lnx + (1 * ln + x * ln)
-5ln + lnx = -1ln + lnx + (1ln + lnx)

Reorder the terms:
-5ln + lnx = -1ln + 1ln + lnx + lnx

Combine like terms: -1ln + 1ln = 0
-5ln + lnx = 0 + lnx + lnx
-5ln + lnx = lnx + lnx

Combine like terms: lnx + lnx = 2lnx
-5ln + lnx = 2lnx

Solving
-5ln + lnx = 2lnx

Solving for variable 'l'.

Move all terms containing l to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2lnx' to each side of the equation.
-5ln + lnx + -2lnx = 2lnx + -2lnx

Combine like terms: lnx + -2lnx = -1lnx
-5ln + -1lnx = 2lnx + -2lnx

Combine like terms: 2lnx + -2lnx = 0
-5ln + -1lnx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1ln'.
-1ln(5 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'ln' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying ln = 0 Solving ln = 0 Move all terms containing l to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying ln = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(5 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + x = 0 Solving 5 + x = 0 Move all terms containing l to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + x = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -5 x = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5 x = -5 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = -5 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = -5 + -1x Simplifying 0 = -5 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
